Cabinet Of Clowns²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

5/1

Once-raced gelding. Fourth of 6 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 20/1) on debut 20 days ago. Open to improvement and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 4

Elsals^p1⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| BF

2/1

Promising sort. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when fifth of 7 in minor event on the AW course here (7f, 8/13) 49 days ago, finishing with running left. Gelded since and cheekpieces on 1st time. Should be in the mix with improvement likely.

Form: 3-5

(2)

Berrygar²²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main

80/1

Twice-raced gelding. Tenth of 13 in minor event at Goodwood (6f, soft, 80/1). Off 7 months and probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 00-

Glory And Gold⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: W J Haggas| OR: 68| BF

2/1

Thrice-raced filly. Second of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/8) 7 days ago, running on. Represents top, in-form yard and she should have a say in the finish.

Form: 7-32

(9)

News Girl

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L J Mongan

40/1

£23,000 2-y-o, New Bay filly. Half-sister to 6f-1m winner Gellhorn. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

Seascape Girl²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: H & R Charlton

5/1

Twice-raced filly. 10/3, second of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f). Off 6 months and while more will be needed here, this daughter of Time Test should have more to offer as a 3-y-o.

Form: 92-

(4)

Storytime¹²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Queally| T: C Hills

50/1

Twice-raced filly. 20/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 126 days and needs to raise her game considerably.

Form: 0-0

Kissed By Ice⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Collen Storey| T: S Pearce

300/1

Twice-raced filly. Last of 4 in minor event (125/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 78 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 44

10/1

Thrice-raced filly. 6/1, fourth of 6 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 56 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Preference is for ELSALS, who was a costly loser starting out for new connections on polytrack here last month, but he should be sharper now and has strong claims on the strength of his 2-y-o debut effort at York. Cabinet of Clowns shaped well on his introduction at Salisbury and is second choice ahead of Glory And Gold and Seascape Girl.
